It’s hard to deny that mowing the lawn is a chore. It’s also one that many people don’t want to do themselves — which is why we have lawn care companies in many neighborhoods. But if you’d rather take care of your own yard, these 11 tips will help you maintain a neat and tidy landscape. Remove all rocks, sticks, or other obstacles. You should remove any rocks or sticks from your lawn and make sure that there are no other obstacles to the mower. You may also want to clear out dead material or debris from your lawn before you start mowing since this can get caught in the blades and damage them. Rake the lawn and remove any dead material or debris.

  • Rake the lawn and remove any dead material or debris.

  • If you have a yard full of leaves, use a leaf rake to sweep them up. You can also use a leaf blower for this task, but make sure there are no rocks or debris in your yard that could damage the motor on your device and create unnecessary wear-and-tear on it.

  • If you have a large amount of leaves in the fall season, consider investing in some form of leaf vacuum or mulcher (which both tend to work quite well).

Water the lawn thoroughly so it is damp but not wet.

  • Water your lawn thoroughly so it is damp but not wet.

  • Watering the lawn on a regular basis is important, but watering in the morning will help prevent the grass from getting too hot and over-drying out during the day.

  • Watering when the soil is dry will help prevent disease, so keep an eye on things to make sure you’re not overdoing it and missing these signs that your lawn needs more water!

  • Watering at the same time every day will help it grow evenly instead of having patches of brown turf because they need less water than others

Create a mowing pattern that you stick to each time you mow your lawn. When mowing your lawn, it’s important to stick with a pattern. This is because it will help you avoid overlapping the areas that you’ve already cut, which can cause uneven cuts and leave grass looking patchy. There are two things that you can do to make sure this doesn’t happen:

  • Mow in the same direction each time (clockwise or counter-clockwise).

  • Mow in a pattern that is easy to remember and follow the next time around.

Leave the clippings behind when you can. When you’ve finished your lawn, leave the clippings behind. They’re a natural fertilizer, can be used as mulch, and can even be composted! Consider:

  • Leaves are a natural mulch. If left on the ground after mowing, they’ll act as an effective barrier against weeds and erosion.

  • Leaves are a compost ingredient. If you have extra leaves from raking or leaf blowing your yard, add them to your compost pile! They’ll help break down other materials in the pile more quickly (and make it easier for worms to burrow into).

  • Leaves can be used as a top dressing for landscaping plants like roses or boxwoods — just sprinkle them over the soil around them so that they get extra nutrition during their growth cycle.

Mow your grass regularly. The shorter you mow it, the faster it will grow back. Mow your lawn regularly. The shorter you mow it, the faster it will grow back. If you let your grass grow too long, it can damage the grass root system and make it harder for your lawn to stay healthy. By cutting your grass at regular intervals, you’re helping maintain a healthy balance of nutrients in the soil while keeping weeds at bay and promoting growth. In addition to being good for your lawn’s health, maintaining a regular schedule makes mowing easier on yourself — and on any pets or children who might be roaming around outside at any given time! Avoid making sharp turns or spinning the wheels of your lawn mower while you are on the lawn.

  • Avoid making sharp turns or spinning the wheels of your lawn mower while you are on the lawn.

  • Do not mow in wet grass, as this creates clumps and makes it harder for the clippings to decompose in your compost pile or mulch bed (depending on what kind of area you’re working with).

  • Mow when the grass is shorter than three inches tall, as this will allow more oxygen into the roots and help them thrive longer into fall and winter when they won’t be getting enough sunlight during those months to continue growing at a rapid pace like they do throughout spring, summer and early fall.

  • Don’t let too much moisture build up around your baseboards by keeping them clean of debris which could cause mold growth under cabinets or other areas where there may be water that can leak out onto floors below them.”

Don’t take off too much at once when you are mowing your lawn. This helps the grass from getting clumpy and uneven.

  • Don’t take off too much at once when you are mowing your lawn. This helps the grass from getting clumpy and uneven.

  • Don’t leave clumps of grass.

  • Don’t leave uneven patches behind the lawn mower, as they can be hard to fix.

  • Don’t leave the grass too long or too short, either way it will look bad on your lawn and make neighbors wonder if we know what we’re doing!

Check for bald spots in your lawn and reseed them if necessary.

  • Check for bald spots in your lawn and reseed them if necessary.

  • Re-seed with the same grass type, so that you don’t end up with a patchwork of different kinds of grass.

  • Re-seed in the spring.

  • Reseed after mowing to help keep your lawn healthy and looking good! If you’re not sure if it’s time to re-seed, call a professional!

Adjust the height of your mower as needed for different seasons to keep your grass growing healthy and strong.

  • Adjust the height of your mower as needed for different seasons to keep your grass growing healthy and strong.

You may think that the height of your lawn mower should be constant throughout the year, but this isn’t always true. In fact, it’s not even close to being true! The growth rate of grass varies throughout the seasons — the summer months are when grass grows fastest while winter is when it slows down considerably. This means that you’ll need to adjust how high or low you cut your lawn accordingly if you want a healthy yard all year long. Mow around obstacles like sprinkler heads or garden beds to avoid damage to them or yourself. If you’re mowing around obstacles, such as sprinkler heads or garden beds, you can avoid damaging them and yourself. If these are buried in grass, it’s easy to accidentally hit them with your lawnmower. You could also damage plants or flowers by mowing over them — and that’s not what anyone wants!
